It’s been a hot minute since we’ve heard anything about Quantic Dream’s Star Wars Eclipse, which was announced several years ago without much updates to hang onto. Earlier this year, we reported on rumours that the game was making very little progress in development. Now, new rumours seem to suggest the worst: Star Wars Eclipse is facing potential cancellation while developers are apparently going on strike against planned layoffs that could affect 115 employees.
French media outlet Gamekult met with several Quantic Dream developers over the weekend who were striking against proposed layoffs by executives that could impact as many as 115 jobs at the studio. According to the outlet, most of the team that worked on the company’s failed live-service title, Spellcasters Chronicles, will be hit with layoffs alongside an uncertain future for the members working on Star Wars Eclipse, which is “dying a slow death due to a lack of resources, vision, and progress.”
The French outlet goes on to mention:
“To fight these layoffs, the STJV union has called for a nationwide mobilisation and set up a picket line this morning outside Quantic Dream’s Paris headquarters. And for good reason: today is the day the Lucasfilm delegation is scheduled to review the progress of Star Wars Eclipse. Tense atmosphere. This French blockbuster could very well fall apart and drag the entire company into the abyss, according to the protesting employees.”
